Investigations
Stork or flamingo x-ray views of the pelvis are taken to exclude pelvic instability, osteitis pubis and hip problems. Movement of the symphysis should be less than 3mm. M.R.I. scan is required in some patients with conflicting symptoms and physical signs.
Adductor Injury
40% of patients diagnosed with Gilmore’s Groin also have torn adductors. Minor and moderate tears usually respond to adductor exercises and physiotherapy. Patients with severe adductor tears usually require adductor tenotomy or release.
